I need an answer to my question. I have my own computer and printer and need to make money to pay my bills and have some "cushion" to fall back on when I need it. How do I go about doing this without being taken advantage of by so called scams ?

I'm starting up a new internet business editing students essays, and I'd like to put a disclaimer on my website. It's a pretty simple one, and I've found information about what needs to go in it based on the disclaimers used on similar sites. Am I able to write the disclaimer myself or should it be written by a lawyer? Being a brand new business, and also a home based, part-time business, I don't think I can afford a lawyer!

I have been a professional video editor for two years for a small company that does weddings, school events, and corporate videos. My salary is only $26,000 whereas the market rate for the work I am doing (not just video work...I know Photoshop, Fireworks, Illustrator and created the website for this company as well as manage the hosting, edit photos, as well as tak photos at weddings)...anyway, the market rate for my education/skill is $45-$50K.

Here's the catch, this company doesn't have any more money..I am the sole employee of my boss, and do about 70-80% of the work.

Should I find a new job? This guy will go under if I leave, so I don't want to do that, but I cannot demand more money since money isn't there! What do I do?

I am having a baby in 4 weeks. My husband is a self employed carpenter. He's having trouble with all the paperwork involved and estimates take him a while and then he's not getting the jobs. he just put the liability ins on a credit card.

Do you do this work? Is it going to get better? He was working as a sub for a while which was steady money, but he wasn't promoting his own business when he did that so is that why it's not going well? Any insight?

I'm freaking out.

I'm currently doing my Independent Study which is titled: "Financial factors that critically affect business decisions". I need at least 5 managers/supervisors from sme's (small/medium sizes enterprises) who would be willing to answer a series of questions for me from the Hull/York area

I would prefer to come to your business to talk if that was possible, but wouldn't take longer than 15 minutes.

Thank you

Hey guys, here it i, I'm a college student and I have ambitions of opening up my own fast-food franchise.I guess I need to know the following;

1- How much capital would I need to open up and run at least one maybe two fast-food locations?

2- What should I be studying in college to be best prepared for a career as a fast-food business owner?

3-How difficult is it to actually succeed in doing this and how long will it take to actually begin making profit?

4-What states or cities have the best reputation for being fast-food restaurant friendly or in other words, where is it least cut-throat in opening and succeeding with a new business?

5-And last but not least, I am over 100k in school debt already and my credit is as bad as it can almost get, so how could I go about getting the capital to do this besides more school loans?

Also, if there are any great resources that experienced people could share with me or links or what have you, I would greatly appreciate it...Thanx everyone

I'm trying to find a website that offers single order custom lanyards but i'm not having much luck. I found one website but i'm not real crazy about it. I could go with that but I want to keep my options open. I would like to be able to customize the logo on the side of it so if you have any ideas they would be much appreciated.

Hi,

I am currently looking for a new job but I'm also a partner in a company. Our business is not in competition with the type of company I am applying for jobs with. Is it best practice to keep quiet about this?

I realise that different employers will have different clauses in their contracts but how could they actually find out? I assume they probably could if my tax code changes.

The jobs I am going for are in the 30k region. I would only need to earn £4601 more before I have to pay the 40% bracket.

I realise an accountant is the best person to ask about this but some general guidance or hearing of similar situations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Bob
